Ramadan Drain CleaningMixer and faucet repair in Uyoun
Mixer and faucet repair in Uyoun usually means replacing the cartridge inside, which wears from hard water and lime buildup. Uyoun is an older residential area in Jahra near Al Uyoun springs, with flats and shops where taps work under heavy use.
Mixer symptoms
Four cases wesee often.
Each one of these points at a different part inside the mixer.
01
It drips after closing
If it keeps dripping with the handle fully closed, the ceramic discs inside the cartridge no longer meet cleanly. A single grain of grit is enough to score that face and keep the drip going.
02
The handle has gone stiff
A mixer that needs force to move has lost the grease inside it, or deposits have worked between the discs. Forcing it keeps breaking the cartridge, and you end up changing the mixer instead of a part.
03
The flow sprays sideways
When the flow breaks up and sprays to the sides, the small aerator at the tip is partly blocked. It is the easiest case of all, cleared by unscrewing the aerator and cleaning or replacing it.
04
Hot and cold are swapped
You open it towards cold and hot arrives, or the other way round. This follows a new installation with the two supplies reversed, or a cartridge refitted the wrong way up. The correction is simple and does not need a new mixer.
This area
What setsthis area apart
Uyoun houses are older, stacked flats in one building, and the taps have been running for years. The cartridge gets dirty from lime and grit in the water, so the mixer starts dripping or the hot and cold don't balance right. We check the cartridge at the mixer base and fit a new one the same size and type. Old-block bathrooms and kitchens have narrow pipes and low pressure, but it is still the cartridge itself that needs replacing, not the line.
Uyoun is an older residential neighbourhood in Jahra governorate near the Al Uyoun springs area, with small flats and commercial plots.
Taps in old Uyoun flats have more issues than newer villas because the water pressure stays high and constant year after year.

The method
From the handleto the test.
Careful work on small parts, and all of it above the basin.
We close both angle valves
A mixer has two supplies, hot and cold, and both have to be closed. We then open the mixer to release the pressure still held in the two tails.
We lift the handle off
The handle is held by a small screw hidden under a plastic cap, and beneath it a ring clamps the cartridge. That comes off with the right tool so the mixer body is not scarred.
We change the cartridge
The old cartridge comes out and its seat is cleaned of deposits, because a new cartridge dropped onto a dirty seat gives you the same drip again before long.
We open it and check both
Both valves open, we run hot, cold and every position between, and we look under the basin while it runs to be sure the tails are not weeping.
